This is not a look up request but a question.

[PtE]

My sister and a cousin are administrators of another cousins estate, and have discovered that some of the possible beneficiaries are now living in New Zealand. Here in the Uk there are various ways to trace living relatives, but we have no way of knowing what sort of avenues are available in New Zealand that can be searched remotely. If anyone can offer any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
PtE

Hello

Do you have names for any of the people you seek ?  (Not asking you to publish them here  )
Do you know names of the places in New Zealand in which these persons may have settled ?


*  FaceBook (or similar social media site) - a good "first port of call".

*  Google search ... "person's name + new zealand" . 

*  The New Zealand Electoral rolls (voting rolls), are available up to the year 1981 on the ancestry.com website (subscription site but many libraries have a version of this freely available ).

You say “possible” beneficiaries??  Does this mean the actual beneficiaries are deceased but their share goes to their descendants?

If you do have names, white pages might find them (if they have a landline) many do not.

Many thanks for all of your suggestions which I will pass on to the Administrators. I have no details of the people that they are looking for as they are not from our side of the family, but from the deceased cousins father’s side. We did not know him or any of his family, and it seems that the only family still residing in the UK are cousins once removed/and twice removed. They have had no contact with any of their cousins etc. for years if ever, but some were aware that one branch eventually went to New Zealand and they are who the Administrators are trying to track down. I think this is going to be a tough job but some results may come from you suggestions, so thank you again, and if anything else occurs to you please let me know.
Regards

Hello PtE

You may by now already have been given this link ??   ... (I'd meant to include it earlier) >

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1609792
   ... there's an explanatory note ... and these (free) records go through to 1973.

[ At the ancestry.com site - UK and Ireland - Outward Passenger lists ... to 1960 and UK Incoming Passenger Lists ... also to 1960 ].

Lucy2, thank you for your suggestions, I think the administrators have tried to check passenger lists, but whether on ancestry or family search I don’t know. So, will pass this on to them.
